It's good to give back!


Just a quick reminder, the goal of this blog is to act as a beginner ‘s guide to break into the world of concept art.  Because ambition by itself is not sufficient and hard work alone in the wrong path will slow your progress and can get you nowhere. 

The information on this blog is design to help guide you to the right path by providing key information that will help you from making the common pitfalls most beginner concept artists make.  The goal is to save you time and get you up to speed with the basic steps and requirement to get you started in the right direction.

I ‘ve been very lucky in many ways along with hard work and persistency to be in a position to do what I love as a career. It’s important to nurture the act of sharing and giving back.

You can do the same by sharing this with others. If you find this helpful, it is the only thing I ask in return is to share it with another friend who can benefit from it.

I am so confident that if you take advantage of the information and incorporate them into your life, you will succeed.  Because success does not happen by chance, there are logical steps to achieve it. I'm just sharing the things I learned from other very successful people.

Cheers!

For example, I will make a to do list over a period of three months that I want to achieve.  Then I will start off with the smaller and easier tasks and then work toward the bigger and more challenging tasks.  As I ‘m checking off things off my list, I will feel a sense of accomplishment from being productive and sticking with my schedule.
